Another reason to pivot very very hard to renewables. So the orange arsehole of a 🇺🇸 President and his cabal do not profit from the illegal war he started and is now extending.

The world’s leading scientists are warning that AI could “end civilization as we know it.” 97% of Americans believe AI safety should be subject to rules. When will our government wake up?! We need global cooperation — before it’s too late.

Switzerland is putting solar panels on all the empty space between train tracks. If done in the UK this would take 20,000,000 Solar Panels and would provide 8GW of electricity.

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Ignoring climate change means exposing people to harm and then asking them to deny their own lived reality. That has always been reckless. As we hurtle towards a Godzilla El Niño and mounting extremes, it will also prove to be a lousy political posture. www.cnn.com/2026/03/20/w...

Israel’s chilling message shames us all who look away: Neither the US nor Europe cares about Gaza. The world map will not change if all the people of Gaza vanish. No one will feel for you, and no one will ask about you. You are left alone to face your inevitable fate.
This is the text of leaflets the Israeli occupation forces dropped on civilians in Gaza.

“We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, and decrease of goods, life and fruits. Give glad tidings to the patient. who, in adversity say: 'We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. On those will be prayers and mercy from their Lord, those are guided.“ ( Text from Al-Quran, the holy book of Islam)

To the honorable people of Gaza,

After the events that have taken place, the temporary ceasefire, and before the implementation of Trump’s forced plan which will impose your forced displacement whether you like it or not, we have decided to make a final appeal to those who wish to receive aid in exchange for cooperating with us. We will not hesitate for a moment to help.

Reconsider your choices, for the world map will not change if all the people of Gaza vanish. No one will feel for you, and no one will ask about you. You are left alone to face your inevitable fate. Even Iran cannot protect itself, so how it can protect you. you have seen with your own eyes what happened. Neither US nor Europe cares about Gaza. Not even your Arab countries, which are now our allies, supplying us with money, oil, and weapons, while sending you only coffins.

The game is almost over, and only a little remains.

Whoever wants to save themselves before it’s too late, we are here to stay until Judgment Day.
